Rob, David, Chris, Suavi,
Thanks for the moral support there. Spent yesterday working on the spinning dome. The more stuff I put in to catch what's doing it, the less it does it. I think it must be something involving cats and quanta, or small shy gnomes.
Programming: I have a lifelong good mate who's very into Unix and the world of gnu's and hartebeests and won't touch MicroSoft. He keeps saying, "You want this ... don't you", but it too late for me to embrace the Dark Side. Unloading the real time stuff into the microcontrollers (bare metal) meant the PC could concentrate on the user interface, so the problem went away.
Best,
Mike
